Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1259 - Challenging the Limits

Chapter 1259: Challenging the Limits

Li Jinnian seemed much calmer in the face of Big Whale’s excitement. Although his expression was still calm, one could tell that he wasn’t as calm as his expression let off.
Oxygen deprivation causes headaches, fatigue, difficulty in walking, anxiety, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and pulmonary edema. In serious cases, one might even lose their life. Be it the highlands or the water, oxygen deprivation is a problem that humans have never been able to overcome.
Furthermore, frogmen mostly carried out underwater missions. The oxygen resistance test played an important role in the soldiers’ selection. It could even decide whether some would go or stay.
Li Jinnian stared at the rising numbers and glanced at the time calmly. A dim light gathered in his cold eyes and turned into a ray of light as bright as the winter night.
“Soon, soon, soon!” Big Whale didn’t notice his change. He was staring at the display screen nervously as if he himself was doing the test.
When it reached the preset time, the first beep was heard. Big Whale was so excited that he wanted to jump down from his chair. Li Jinnian, who was standing behind him, placed his hand on his shoulder to stop him from losing his composure.
“Five minutes, Demon King! She did it! The numbers are not in the red yet!” said Big Whale excitedly, as if he had discovered a treasure. His eyes were shining brightly as if there were light bursting out from them. “She has surpassed the soldiers that stayed!”
Very good, five minutes had passed!
As Big Whale had said, she had indeed surpassed the 24 remaining soldiers!
“The numbers are rising. Remove the device.” Li Jinnian’s expression didn’t change at all. However, when he placed one hand on the table, his slender fingers tightened slightly. “Give me the results after the high CO2 reaction test. Keep a close eye on it. Once the numbers turn red, turn off the device.”
Big Whale noticed that his captain, who was younger than him, was still calm. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “It’s rare to meet someone who can withstand oxygen deprivation for five minutes. I will definitely be careful!”
As the equipment on her arm was removed, Ye Jian, who had her upper limbs freed, immediately felt the blood that was “locked” flowing towards her arm. The heavy feeling of having several mountains pressing on her left and right shoulder, as well as the feeling that her upper and lower limbs had separated, disappeared instantly.
Ye Jian took off her mask. Her face was flushed red. She didn’t open her mouth to gasp air immediately. She pouted her lips and took deep breaths slowly and rhythmically. Then, she relaxed her body slowly.
Five minutes of oxygen deprivation was like walking through the gates of hell. Sweat was still dripping down her back. The sweat on her forehead gathered into thin streams and dripped down her chin to her clothes.
Big Shark took a deep breath and broke the silence. “Your results are not bad. Five minutes and 24 seconds.” His voice was soft but there were obvious fluctuations. Big Shark was excited too.
Five minutes! A qualified frogman needed to endure oxygen deprivation for five minutes. How could he not be excited?
However, he quickly regained his senses. No matter how agitated he was… she belonged to the army.
Ye Jian had been keeping track of the time in her heart. Hearing that, she smiled and said, “My arms were tied with the instrument. If not, I can reach six minutes. Six minutes is my limit.”
When she was training at the beach with Principal Chen, she could only hold her breath for two minutes at first. Later on, when she was training at the highlands, Uncle Chen asked her to wear a mask for her morning training. He even asked her to wear a mask when she was sleeping. That was how she got her current results.
